美国微软公司总载比尔·盖茨说,商业计算机网络软件应该具有针对性,即针对特定操作系统(如微软自己“视窗”操作系统)编写的软件运行得最好。而已成为国际商用机器公司(IBM)子公司的美国莲花软件公司总裁杰夫·帕波斯却认为,商业计算机软件应该具有通用性,即用一种语言编写的软件应该可以在任何计算机和计算机网络上运行。到底谁是对的呢? 目前,计算机网络上一般都采用爪哇(Java)编程语言。爪哇语言最初是由美国太阳微软系统公司开发的,是一种通用型计算机编程语言。用该语言编写的软件可在包括个人计算机和大型计算机在内的任何计算机上运行,也不管这些计算机采用哪一种操作系统。 虽然微软公司和莲花公司都愿意采用爪哇语言,但因用爪哇语言编写的软件可适应任何操作 Bill Gates, chief executive of Microsoft at Microsoft, said commercial computer networking software should be targeted to run the best of software written for a particular operating system, such as Microsoft’s own Windows operating system. Jeff P. Persos, president of Lotus Software, a subsidiary of International Business Machines Corporation, argues that commercial computer software should be generic in that software written in one language should work on any computer and computer network run. In the end who is right? At present, computer networks generally use Java (Java) programming language. Java language was originally developed by the United States Sun Microsoft Systems, is a general-purpose computer programming language. Software written in this language runs on any computer, including personal computers and mainframe computers, regardless of the operating system that these computers use. Although both Microsoft and Lotus are willing to adopt the Java language, software written in Java language can be adapted to any operation
